TRACY - The Tracy Police Department arrested a man Wednesday night who used an object to beat the mother of his children so severely she is hospitalized with "significant trauma," authorities said.

Officers were called to the 100 block of East Manzanita Lane on reports of a disturbance about 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. They arrested Matthew Stewart, 28, on suspicion of false imprisonment by violence, battery with serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon and force likely to produce great bodily injury, and child endangerment, authorities said.

He is being held at the San Joaquin County Jail in lieu of $600,000 bail.

Officers notified Child Protective Services, which placed three or four children in protective custody, police said.

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is looking for two men who committed a robbery shortly after 9:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Casa Flores restaurant at 4631 East Fremont St., deputies said.

Two men entered the restaurant, including one who appeared to have a gun inside his jacket, authorities said.

One demanded money from the cash register. The other removed money from the register and stole a gray purse, deputies said.

Witnesses told authorities both men were wearing dark clothing and black bandannas over their faces. One of the men was described as approximately 6 feet tall. The other was about 5 feet 9 inches tall with a slender build, deputies said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400.
